Former band mates: Andreas Vollenweider / Ivano Fossati / Pippo Pollina / Shivananda … I played on many different studio sessions and album productions (approx. 150 LPs & CDs). On concert tours with Andreas Vollenweider, I played all around the world in the most famous venues like Carnergie Hall and Radio City Music Hall in New York; Kennedy Center in Los Angeles; and Palladium in London.

The appreciation of our musical work has included international awards such as the Grammy we received in 1986.

Getting started: At the age of 14 I learned to play the Swiss marching drum….the best basic. One Saturday my neighbor asked me if I would like to form a band and play the drums…I said yes…so we played Beatles songs… My teacher said that I have to decide if I want to play drums or marching drums…I decided to play the drums…and still love it as much as I did then.

Former band mates: Michel Jonasz, Henri Dès, Fernando Saunders, Gola, Nubya and many more…Studio musician on more than 100 albums for different artists around Europe. I am currently running my own studio, producing singers and songwriters.
